The rise of the poor

Chapter 438: Shoot When You Should

Zhu Pingan followed a middle-aged Taoist priest up the steps to the altar, looked at the dazzling array of ritual utensils and sacrifices on the altar, smelled the strong smell of incense, and shook his head slightly.Any piece of magic weapon on this Zhaiqiao altar is enough for a well-to-do family to chew.

On the highest altar, Yuan Wei caught a glimpse of Zhu Pingan shaking his head and sighing from afar, and couldn't help but curled up his lips to show a mocking smile, hum, boy, you're at your wit's end!
Ever since, surrounded by the smell of burning incense, Yuan Wei began to concoct a brilliant poem.

Not long after climbing the altar, Zhu Pingan saw the Taoist priests standing under the altar holding ritual instruments began to dance a very weird dance, reciting some scriptures aloud, and waving them from time to time. The magic weapon makes various actions such as greeting and driving away.

jump god...

Zhu Pingan curled his lips and summed up the behavior of the Taoist priests under the altar in his heart.

After the Taoist priests under the altar finished dancing the great god, several Taoist priests brought brushes, ink, peach charms and other things from a distance, and sent them to each altar one by one, for Zhu Pingan and others to write Qingci and couplets.

Brushes, peach charms, ivy paper, paperweights, etc., but no ink was found.

"Dare to ask, where is the ink?" Zhu Pingan stopped the Taoist priest who was sent to the altar and asked.

The middle-aged Taoist smiled when he heard the words, pointed to one of the pots of sticky gold powder and said with a smile, "My lord, this is ink."

"Is this ink?" Zhu Pingan's mouth twitched.

"Exactly, this is a thousand pure gold powder, mixed with the immortal liquid prepared by the master. Zhaiqiao Qingci and couplets are all written with this ink." The middle-aged Taoist nodded, with a little pride in his eyes, Seems very satisfied with Zhu Pingan's reaction.

Hearing this, the corners of Zhu Ping'an's mouth twitched even more, as if possessed by an evil spirit.

"Are you all right, sir?" The middle-aged Taoist asked in a nonchalant manner.

"It's nothing." Zhu Pingan looked at the can of gold powder that weighed several kilograms, and the voice in his mouth was almost gritted.

What a waste!
This is not Zhaiqiao, this is clearly burning money!The ink is actually made from gold that is ground into powder!The fairy liquid in the mouth of the Taoist is probably ordinary water, or some kind of clear oil. This kind of ink is too extravagant.After this firestorm, the gold powder alone must not have used as much as a hundred catties!

There were so many places in this firewood ceremony that made Zhu Ping'an's eyes drop all over the place!
It seems that these gold powders will be wiped away by these Taoist priests after using up the firewood this time!Just look at the golden threads on their Taoist robes!
The middle-aged Taoist priest got off the dharma altar after delivering the pen and ink for writing Qingci and couplets. It is estimated that there are other things going on.Only Zhu Ping'an and another middle-aged Taoist priest who arranged instruments and other objects on the altar were left.

The Taoist priest just said before leaving that Zhu Ping'an would write five couplets and one green poem to decorate the altar.

Seeing that other Hanlin on the Buddhist altar had already started writing, Zhu Pingan also collected his thoughts and prepared to write couplets and Qing Ci.This is not difficult for Zhu Pingan, and it is not difficult to write Qingci couplets. It is a kind of couplet, but it is just a style of Qingci.The Taoist priest sent eight brushes just now, maybe it was because of the auspicious number "eight", or it might be that it is more expensive to make ink with gold powder.

Looking at the writing brushes on the table, Zhu Pingan was thoughtful.

Zhu Pingan spread the table, took a brush, dipped the gold powder vigorously in the gold powder, dropped the brush on the ivy paper, and wrote "Huang" with the brush.

This word proves Zhu Pingan's conjecture just now. The brush strokes are obviously not as smooth as ordinary ink, with a kind of sandy ups and downs, and the brushes are also slightly forked. The few brushes sent by the Taoist priest just now are probably because of this kind of golden powder brush Bar!
After confirming what he thought in his heart, Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, and then dipped the brush in his hand into the gold powder vigorously again, completely submerged in it, and then lifted the brush out of the gold powder, with a little force on his wrist, once again It fell on the ivy paper.

As soon as the pen was written, the brush showed serious forks, and then Zhu Pingan picked up the brush.

"I have Daoist Lao to prepare a few more brushes. The brushes are too strong to be used for many times." Zhu Pingan shook the apparently forked brush in his hand, and said to the Taoist priest who placed the magic weapon on the side.

"My lord, wait a moment." The middle-aged Taoist nodded, then turned around and got off the altar.

When the middle-aged Taoist priest went down to the altar, Zhu Ping'an put the brush dipped in gold powder into the sleeve pocket of his sleeve without any trace.

Do it when you dare!
Rather than being greedy for ink by these Taoist priests, it is better to keep some of them temporarily and give them to those who need them more!
In addition, this is also an unwritten practice. In ancient times, there was a retouching fee, that is to say, the cost of brush loss.I remember hearing a certain Hanlin say during the last meal that writing in Xiyuan, you can take the brush home, which is considered a reward from the Holy Majesty.But at that time Hanlin was a little disdainful, what do I need so many brushes for?
But, ahem, whoops, that's weird, I just love these brushes.

What to do, I can only thank Lord Ron.

It was very natural to take another brush, Zhu Pingan dipped in gold powder and quickly moved the brush to complete the first couplet: The emperor's family blesses the nine evils to eliminate the three disasters; .

After writing the first couplet, Zhu Ping'an dipped the second brush in gold powder and put it in his sleeve again.At this time, Zhu Pinganjue's ancient man's sleeve bag is really a good thing, it is big and easy to use, and can hold as many brushes
After Zhu Pingan finished writing the first couplet, the Taoist priest who went down to the altar to get brushes came up again, and this time he brought ten brushes.

"It's time to thank you, Daoist." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands and thanked him.

Then write couplets, Zhu Pingan dips in thick gold powder every time before writing, and then writes. After writing almost a few words, Zhu Pingan dips in thicker gold powder again, and then just as soon as he writes, He shook his head lightly, and the writing brush forked again and could no longer be used. Then he quietly put it in his sleeve and changed to another writing brush.

In order to change a few more brushes, Zhu Pingan’s last four couplets are all very long. For example, the fourth couplet is the couplet written by Yuan Wei a few years ago:
The grass of the yarrow is written, the sky is five, the earth is five, five five is 25, the number is born in the Tao, the Tao is in harmony with the Yuanshi Tianzun, and there is no second;
The tube of the cut-off bamboo is based on the law of harmony, six yang tones, six yin tones, and six to six 36 tones. The voices are heard in the sky, and the emperor Jiajing was born, and the emperor ruled for thousands of years.

This is the Yuan Wei’s couplet used for the transformation. Of course, it is different from Yuan Wei’s original couplet. The difference is big or small, but it doesn’t matter. Does writing couplets have to be original? Almost every pair of couplets hanging at the door must be the same in at least a few million houses.In addition, there are still many differences between this couplet and Yuan Wei's original couplet.

Of course, in order to prevent people from criticizing, Zhu Pingan’s other couplets are original. For example, the fifth couplet is an original long couplet:
Forty-five years of dragon flying, when celebrating one hour, the five numbers are combined with the sky, the five numbers are combined with the ground, the five things are repaired, the five blessings are prepared, the five generations live under the same roof, and the colorful clothes are colorful and colorful;
Crane counts every eight days in thirty days, wishing Wanshou eight thousand for spring, eight thousand for autumn, eight yuan to advance, eight to ascend, eight tones to follow the rhythm, and eight winds to play Danchi.

There are five years in the forty-five years of Longfei, which corresponds to Emperor Jiajing's 45 years old this year; Crane's calculation is on the eighth day of the thirty-day period, which refers to today, which is the eighth day of the thirty-day period of this month.As for the words behind the couplets, they are all flattering words to flatter Emperor Jiajing.

After writing five couplets, Zhu Pingan has already put ten brushes in his sleeves!Zhu Ping'an didn't intend to keep these writing brushes for himself, they are waiting to be given to those who need them more in the future, and used in places where they are more needed!I believe that any use is more valuable than today!
